Primes

• Environmental Scanning
  • A bounded external environment whose relevant factors can be categorized and monitored at manageable cost

    This sourceCombines Aguilar's information-acquisition modes with an analysis model and distinguishes irregular, periodic, and continuous scanning systems. SUPPORTS marker 153 (a bounded external environment whose factors can be categorized and monitored at manageable cost) and re-sourced marker 156 (cadence structure matched to volatility: continuous vs periodic monitoring). Does NOT specifically support the marker-162 claim that 'STEEP and PESTLE frames evolved through management-consulting practice' (see flag).

Verification

Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 4 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
